The moment the city gate opened, the refugees who had been loitering near the city gate suddenly rushed forward like crazy!
"Let us in! We abandoned our hometown to come to the capital after receiving the Grand Duke's warrant. How can you not let us in? "
"There are demons outside. How can you leave us outside?"
"Let us in!"
Someone among the refugees roared.
Ma Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. Isabel was expressionless, but the people behind her immediately changed their expressions.
Their faces turned ugly!
What was going on? Did something happen in the capital and they no longer accepted civilians like them?
"Sir?" Isabel asked softly.
"Let's wait and see." Ma Wen motioned for her to calm down.
After experiencing the baptism of the demon army, it was normal for Lavis's city defenses to be stricter. However, these refugees were all ordinary people. It was a bit strange not to let them enter the city.
…
Perhaps the guards in charge of guarding the city gate did not expect the refugees to suddenly erupt with such a powerful force. Several soldiers holding shields were even pushed away!
A gap appeared in the city gate. The refugees cheered and prepared to rush in.
However, right at this moment, a low and ferocious whistling sound rang out!
"Retreat!"
This was not shouted in the common language. It was more like an ancient and complicated prophecy. Although it was only two bytes, it gave people a deterrent force!
In an instant, all the civilians froze in place.
Fear appeared in their eyes. They wanted to rush into the city, but they could not help it.
Many of them revealed expressions of unwillingness.
They were already very close!
Just as they were about to rush in, who knew that they would be directly beaten back by this roar!
"Retreat!"
The man roared again in a low voice.
The refugees gathered in front of him immediately fell to the ground with their legs weak. Some people even began to run around in joy.
Under the fearful gazes of the guards, a man in black slowly walked out of the city gate.
His eyes were filled with deep contempt.
"A bunch of ants, you want to enter the city?"
"Look at who you are!"
"Farmer? Peddler? Bricklayer … Bricklayer is of some use. My residence has been damaged. If you can fix it, I can allow you to enter the city. "
His gaze swept across them one by one, and his tone was extremely cold.
The rest of the people revealed sorrowful expressions. They wanted to speak, but they were directly intimidated by that powerful force and lost the ability to speak!
Marvin furrowed his brow.
To deal with a group of civilians, they even used deterrent spells.
This Warlock is a bit too much.
Daniela's men?
He felt that something was wrong.
"Let's go and take a look."
He didn't discuss it with the others and just walked over.
The rest of the people were stunned. Everyone had seen the scene that had just happened.
That Lord Black Robe obviously held great authority. If he didn't let everyone in, could it be that this young man had a way?
However, they were all people who had left their homes. If the Imperial Capital did not take them in, they did not know how they would survive the night!
Coupled with Isabelle's terrifying combat power, everyone looked at each other and followed her.
…
In front of the city gate, the bricklayer who was called was packing up his things in ecstasy. He held the hands of the two girls and prepared to enter the city.
Who knew that the black-clothed man would coldly shout out:
"Wait!"
The bricklayer's expression immediately became uneasy. "What is it, Lord?" "What?"
"When did I say anything about allowing others to enter the city?" Perfect snorted.
"You're the only one. The rest of you don't have the right to enter."
The bricklayer's face flushed red. His entire body trembled, unable to speak for a long time under the pressure of Lord's powerful spell.
Lord coldly ignored him and looked at the others. After sweeping his gaze across the crowd, he suddenly spat.
"And here I thought there were some capable people here. You're all a bunch of trash. You pieces of trash can't even contribute to the Imperial Capital. Why should we protect you? "
"What right do you have to enter the city?"
But at that moment, the mason who stood between the refugees and the city gate suddenly shouted, "What are you doing here?"
"They're not trash!"
Lord frowned and stared at the bricklayer like a venomous snake.
The poor bricklayer gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "They're my daughters …"
"Daddy, I'm scared …" A little girl in ragged clothes hugged the bricklayer's leg tightly, revealing a terrified expression.
The other older girl also showed an uneasy expression. She twirled her long brown hair and didn't know what to do.
Jast looked at them and said coldly, "Very well."
"Get lost!"
The mason pulled the two little girls away, gritted his teeth, and walked into the crowd.
Everyone looked furious, but no one dared to say anything.
The guards looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Lord Jast's performance during the demon army's siege was clear for all to see. If he hadn't killed those Great Demons, the city gates might have already been breached.
Only with such outstanding battle achievements could he obtain this position. Even if these lowly soldiers had the heart to sympathize with the refugees outside, what could they do?
At the end of the day, they were also living precarious lives.
…
"What's going on?"
The crowd opened up a gap, and a militia squad walked out.
The leader was a muscular man holding a large sword, "Sir, the order we received doesn't seem to be like this."
"That's because you've misunderstood," Jast said indifferently. "You are all useful to the duchy. You may enter the city," Jast said indifferently.
The militia captain nodded, "Then the villagers we're escorting …"
"Impossible!"
Jast said impatiently, "How many times do I have to repeat myself before you understand?"
"These are special times, and I'm in charge of the city's defense. If I say no, then no."
"I don't know what order you received, but in my place, trash that only knows how to waste food have no right to enter the city!"
The militia soldiers were immediately enraged. Some of the villagers had relatives, "Then we won't enter the city either!"
"The Duke's order is very clear. Everyone is to enter the capital to seek refuge. Everyone!"
"That's right! Without this order, we wouldn't have left our homes to come here! "
Jast shouted angrily, "You're soldiers!"
"You must listen to my orders!"
Absolute Dominance!
This was a level 3 spell, and it was extremely effective against ordinary people with average willpower!
The militia immediately lowered their heads. Under the shocked gazes of the others, they obeyed Jast's order and entered the city one by one.
Even when their relatives called out their names, they didn't seem to hear them!
Jast revealed a satisfied smile.
But at this moment, a careless voice rang out in his ears.
"Excuse me, we want to enter the city."
